It's the hard knock life... It's the hard knock life..
It's the hard-knock life for us It's the hard-knock life for us
Steada treated, We get tricked Steada kisses, We get kicked It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so It's the hard knock row we hoe Cotton blankets ...steada wool
Empty bellies ...steada full! It's the hard-knock life
Don't if feel like the wind is always howling? Don't it seem like there's never any light? Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in? It's easier than puttin' up a fight
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy No one cares if you grow...or if you shrink No one cries when your eyes get wet and weepy From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink Oh.. oh
Empty belly life! (empty belly life) Rotten smelly life! (no no no no no) Full of sorrow life! (full of sorrow life...) No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see... Santa Claus what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge When you're in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life for us It's the hard-knock life for us No one cares for you a smidge When your in an orphanage It's the hard-knock life It's the hard-knock life It's the hard-knock life!
